The offender pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography after distributing intimate images of his 16-year-old former girlfriend to her mother and a hockey team administrator out of spite.
The Crown sought 18 months of custody, while the defence requested a conditional sentence.
The court imposed a 12-month conditional sentence followed by 12 months of probation, noting the offender's youth, lack of prior record, remorse, and the situational nature of the offence.
The Crown's request for a section 161 prohibition order was denied as there was no evidence the offender posed a general risk to children.
